The lipoxygenase pathway has a significant influence on the composition of the volatile components of virgin olive oil (VOO). In this work, the influence of the maturity index (MI) on the activity of the lipoxygenase enzyme (LOX) in the fruits of the autochthonous Dalmatian olive cultivars Oblica, Levantinka and Lastovka was studied. The analysis of the primary oxidation products of linoleic acid in the studied cultivars showed that LOX synthesises a mixture of 9- and 13-hydroperoxides of octadecenoic acid in a ratio of about 1:2, which makes it a non-traditional plant LOX.

A single phenolic group and even a compound play different roles in the sensory properties and stability of virgin olive oil (VOO), which in turn are strongly influenced by several factors. Understanding the causes of differences in phenolic compound composition and oxidative stability (OS) in VOOs is essential for targeted and timely harvest and processing while maintaining desired oil quality. The phenolic profile and OS of two monocultivar VOOs (Oblica and Leccino) grown in two geographical sites of different altitudes (coastal plain and hilly hinterland) were analyzed throughout the ripening period over two years.

With the increasing interest in obtaining biologically active compounds from natural sources, (L.) Greuter (Asteraceae) came into our focus as a readily available and aromatic wild shrub widely distributed in the Mediterranean region. This work provides a phytochemical profile of in terms of parallel chemical composition in the lipophilic fraction (essential oil) and the water fraction (hydrosol).

Razuprotafib, a sulphamic acid-containing phosphatase inhibitor, is shown to undergo enzymatic oxidation and methylation to form a major metabolite in monkey and human excreta with an value of 633.LC-MS/MS analysis of samples derived from incubations of razuprotafib with human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2C8 enzyme has elucidated the metabolic pathway for formation of the thiol precursor to the S-methyl metabolite MS633 ( 633).Under conditions, the major pathway of razuprotafib metabolism involves extensive oxidation of the thiophene and phenyl rings.

The disposition of radioactivity following subcutaneous C-razuprotafib, a Tie2 activator, was explored in multiple species.The absorption and clearance of razuprotafib and total radioactivity in human plasma are rapid and pharmacokinetics support razuprotafib as primary circulating component. Radioactivity is distributed greater to human plasma than whole blood (B:P = 0.
